I am a storm.
Sometimes a hurricane
Sometimes freezing rain
Sometimes blazing heat
or dust.
~~
You love like a sunny day;
You love me all straight and narrow,
~~
while I love winding and wide
with no signs, no directions.
~~
And sometimes I’m spinning
Gales and sheets of rain
reaching miles beyond me,
stirring up the water –
~~
And you, with unbreakable mast,
sail directly for the center-
Not merely surviving,
but arms open wide, sails full of wind,
head thrown back,
smiling as the drops hit your face
like the tempest is beautiful.
~~
You point at the heart of the storm
without speaking-
knowing its power,
condensing the energy,
pointing it in the right direction.
~~
The heart of the storm
is the heart of me
and you’re not afraid,
so neither will I be.
